I'm coming to the uncomfortable conclusion that my life is not that interesting to fill up a blog on any regular basis. Basically something interesting happens about every two weeks. This last weekend, I took a drive down to the Berkshires to visit a friend and help out with a charity event. The party raised money to support an art school there called IS 183, and he needed some extra hands behind the two bars he was running. It dawned on me a little late that this was a costume party; the theme: Rock the Opera. People either dressed in opera attire or as rockers. Since my Viking helmet was out being buffed, I decided to wear ripped jeans, a band t-shirt, and my trusty mullet wig.
That'd be me on the right. For more pics, you can
go here. The costumes were pretty amazing, and I have to say, I really enjoyed bar tending. Possibly a career opportunity to explore further. We got around $400 in tips! We didn't pocket it, of course, it being a charity event, but I see it as a sign of my future earning potential. Like every job, though, there's a downside, and this one was getting to bed at 3 a.m. Not something I could do on a regular basis, and it made for a rather long drive home the next day. But hey, that's the price you pay for rock n' roll.
